(945 posts)If Bernie can get the youth to turnout (harder said than done) he might pull of some decent wins. His decision to cancel his MS rally was very shortsighted. He could have made an outreach effort to AA but choose not to. He needs to expand his base because the base he has now doesnt turn out for him.

(31,261 posts)he under-performed in all of them. He needed the narrative coming out of Super Tuesday that he could win the big states that are electoral college rich in the General election, he didn't get that narrative.
Sanders is going to pull out the stops in Michigan, he desperately needs to win there to have it remotely look like he has a chance. Joe should checkmate him in Michigan by going there and sending surrogates like Amy and Pete that are from that region. I read that Amy is visiting today. Joe himself need to do a stop there before Tuesday, IMO.

I feel you could pick out which states would be more attracted to Bernies message, before he ever ran for the presidency.

(945 posts)Sanders appeals to people in solidly blue states which are a pretty much a given for democrats in a GE. The candidate needs to be able to appeal to crossover and independent voters in swing states. Bernie actually hurts the democrats chances in those states. What Bernie really needed to do was spend the last 4 years building his appeal to voters in these states-instead he relied on getting youth to come out in massive numbers to vote for him, and as expected they let him down.

(584 posts)From another earlier thread:
Youth turnout compared to 2016 is either flat or down in a majority of states that have voted, according to these polls, meaning young voters both form a smaller share of the overall Democratic primary vote and turned out in smaller net numbers.
The dependence on "youth vote" by any candidate is folly.
